Sussex return to action in the NatWest T20 Blast on Thursday when they take on Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl (7pm).

The squad of 14 is boosted by the return of fast bowler Tymal Mills, who has recovered from a hamstring injury having tested his fitness on Tuesday in a second-team T20 game against Somerset.

Head Coach Mark Davis said: “Hampshire are a strong side but we have done well at the Ageas Bowl in the past and it would be great for confidence to get our first win there and build on it.

“Having Tymal back is a big boost, not only for him personally but the whole squad. We have managed his rehab very carefully and he came through his four overs in the seconds on Tuesday and he’s raring to go. Obviously, he is a big player for us and we’re looking forward to seeing him reproduce the performances which lifted the whole tournament last year.”
